And even then it's just a guess as to who that may be.
I'm pretty sure that they all do the same amount of "damage" because they are all on the take.
I think of two things when I think of the govt.
1. George Washington only served one term as U.S. president because he didn't want to be a "king"
And:
2. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Our govt. pretty much has ABSOLUTE power over us at this time in history. They decide what you can see and not see, read and not read, say and not say. They basically strip search us at airports. The Patriot Act allows them to do pretty much anything they want. Hell, you can't even drive your car without being told you HAVE to wear a seatbelt (of course that's a good idea to wear one, but being FORCED to by "law"?)
And the career politicians who spend their entire lives in govt. are the biggest thieves in the world.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. If our founding fathers were somehow transported into the present day...they would get a rope, find the closest tree and start hanging everyone in govt. for treason.
